Oh my, that Clematis pair must the most beautiful chukka I've seen, a perfect marriage of form and minimalism. I would have chosen some strange grainy leather, like buffalo, elephant or hippo, to show off the uppers. I wonder if British makers lose Asian customers for all this talent coming from the Far East.

Yeah I say these come close to perfection. I'm not usually a fan of chukkas (even sleek Bespoke ones), but these look goood

Havent seen much G&G bespoke waist out in the wild but I do believe the beveled and fiddle back waist is blind welted at the waist. And from the sole taken apart picture it does look to be blind welted at waist. While RESH resole is just sewn together it seems.

Did they sew over the existing welt holes?

They use the existing holes.

Yeah, the G&G repair I posted above took only 2 weeks for pickup. That is fast. If you send it back to G&G (or in fact any other repair shops in Japan), I assume it will take much longer.Edited by nutcracker - 4/26/13 at 9:03am
